Claymore CPU Miner (Fried my gfx card)

So I fried my GFX card about 4 weeks ago and saved up for another. But since I've had it i've noticed some problems. Computer running slow, low fps, load in times are slow etc. And also my computer BEEPS 3 times before it starts up everything and I need to unplug and replug the HDMI cable for the display to show.

I did a custom scan on my computer and discovered I had a "TROJ.COiNMIN.NC" on my computer. Trend find the threat and tried to remove it but request my computer to be reset. So i attempt to reset my computer and it doesn't complete the process. Continues to tell me to try and reset to finish removal of threat.

So I went digging in my computer to try and locate the file trend was telling me was malicious. So i came across in my C:Windows/Temp folder a bunch of .exe and .txt files. So i opened a txt file and discovered this.

Now I assume this is a horrible thing to have on my computer, and is the sole reason it is running slow + fried my GFX card. My question is can I handle this threat myself with help from someone here or do I need to take it to a computer Technician?
